    A Safety Tip And Warning

    Update. Again, thanks all for the comments. Dave760, just an FYI: I’m 70 years old. At the eight week mark I took my air cast off and I’ve been walking on it ever since. There is no limp and no pain to speak of. I am taking it easy though. One day at a time. Chris

    A Safety Tip And Warning

    Thank you all for your kind wishes. The surgeon told me the full recovery would be six to twelve months and I might have a limp for the rest of my life. A small price to pay to still be alive.

    Seasonal Pipe Switch

    I don't know why it is; but for the past few years whenever spring rolls around, something clicks in the old seasonal clock in my brain and I switch all my pipe smoking to cobs and my daily tobacco usage to Virginias. I will smoke my cobs all through the summer, and sometime after our first...
